Diesel engines need to be primed when the have ran out of fuel. You should be able to find the primer either ontop of the fuel filter on near the inlet manifold
They start to sputter,stall and stop running.
A diesel engine that is starved for fuel will lose prime. This means that you will be unable to start the engine once it has stalled.
Check for proper fuel pressure in the 1997 Talon. The engine appears to be starving for fuel and only has enough pressure to start.
If the key is in the on position and the engine is not running, the fuel pump is off. If the engine is running then the fuel pump is also. During the start cycle the pump will only run for 3 seconds unless the engine starts.
For most vehicles, the fuel pump only turns on briefly when you try to start the engine. If the engine doesn't start, the pump turns off. You need to test the fuel pressure with the engine running.
1996 ford should not need bleeding if you are having problems starting after running out of fuel, remove fuel filter cap on top of engine fill fuel filter with diesel,replace cap start engine these engines will bleed air from system during cranking and running
If your engine has a carburetor, a small amount of fuel will be sprayed in to the intake manifold when accelerator is depressed, and engine isn't running. This is fuel stored in the accelerator pump reservoir to prevent hesitation. So if the engine isn't running, it will spray the first time accelerator pedal is pressed and it won't introduce additional fuel no matter how many times you press the gas pedal after the first press. The engine needs to be running for the accelerator pump well to refill. If your asking because you're wondering if pressing the gas pedal will flood the engine making it hard to start, the answer is No, it won't flood the engine. If your engine does not have a carburetor, then it's fuel injected. No fuel at all will enter the engine with the gas pedal pressed, engine not running. The engine has to be cranking (starter engaged to start engine) for the fuel system to operate. 0 chance of fuel if the engine is not cranking or running to activate fuel injection.
check fuel fliterthen test fuel pump
With engine off, fuel pump running, 60 to 66 psi.
you need at least 50 psi to run and 55 or so to keep it running thats with cpi engine the others use less pressure and a different fuel pump....
Spray a starter fluid into the intake to get the engine running. If the fuel pump does not start pumping, it is defective, or the fuel filter is clogged. These pumps are self priming.
Many times an electronic fuel pump, that is going bad, will cause the engine to stop running and then start again. The fuel pump will eventually get worse.
